Dems' smear campaign against Sessions likely to backfire
(Paul Mirengoff) It has become clear that, at least until Donald Trump nominates a Supreme Court Justice (and quite possibly beyond that point), congressional Democrats intend to make opposition to Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination as Attorney General the centerpiece of their early resistance to the new president. The talking point you will hear and read about the most is alleged racism by Sen. Sessions. However, the true reasons for the opposition are

Russia freakout
(Paul Mirengoff) The freakout over Donald Trump's alleged love affair with Vladimir Putin may or may not have a firm basis in reality. But to the extent that it's Democrats who are freaking out, I can't help but note their hypocrisy. It was President Obama and then-Secretary of State Clinton who gave us the Russian reset, one consequence of which was to deny Poland and the Czech Republic a missile shield. It

Technology as a force for division — and unification — in politics
The functions of government outlined in the U.S. Constitution can be broadly broken down into the promotion of unity, justice, peace, defense and welfare. Nearly 230 years later, in an age when software rules the world, these principles remain constant — but the way in which the average citizen experiences and interacts with government and politics has changed immeasurably.

Sanders Vows to Hold Trump Accountable on Indiana Carrier Jobs
President-elect Donald Trump must be held "accountable" for his promise to stop jobs at a Carrier air conditioning plant in Indiana being moved to Mexico, says Senator Bernie Sanders.

Recount Freakout
(John Hinderaker) If you're a liberal, anything is better than admitting that you lost. So now, just weeks after cautioning Donald Trump's supporters that they had better accept the results of the election (unlike the Democrats in 2000 and 2004), Democrats led by Jill Stein are demanding recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Left-wingers have donated millions of dollars, and the Hillary Clinton campaign has announced that it will participate in Stein's

Stick This in Your Pipeline
(Steven Hayward) The next radical environmental tactic is now evident for eyes to see: block all infrastructure projects—especially oil and gas pipelines—with criminal trespass and obstruction. Having killed the Keystone pipeline (only temporarily, now that Trump is going to approve it once he takes office), the red-greenies are trying to stop the Dakota Access pipeline that has received all of its regulatory permits. Naturally environmentalists have to lie about the whole matter,

What can one say about this man and his country? Castro always saw himself as a world-historical figure, defying the United States and converting

(Steven Hayward) Isn't "Black Friday" racist? Or consumerist? Or something politically incorrect? Of course it is. I don't know exactly why, but there must be some reason.

Fidel Castro finally dies
(Paul Mirengoff) Fidel Castro has died. He was 90 years old. It will be fascinating to read and view the mainstream media's treatment of the dead dictator. I wonder to what extent the MSM, which wants to resist "normalizing" Donald Trump, will normalize the Cuban tyrant and his regime, as President Obama has done to some extent. I expect we will see at least a few stories in the "he did some

Fidel Castro clung to socialism, mentored new leftists
HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro's revolution was slowly dying - or so it seemed.
Communism had collapsed in Europe, and Cuba's Soviet lifeline was severed. Food was in short supply. Power outages silenced TV sets normally tuned to a nighttime soap opera. Factories rusted in the tropical heat.

(Steven Hayward) My initial thought on election night when the anemic John Podesta came to the Javits Center to tell the "I'm With Her" faithful to go home was that the Clinton camp was huddled preparing to challenge the results of the election in several close states. There are a few reports, not yet substantiated, that Hillary was in a rage and not physically able to come to the Javits Center herself.

Former Cuban Leader Fidel Castro Dies Aged 90
HAVANA (Reuters) – Fidel Castro, the Cuban revolutionary leader who built a communist state on the doorstep of the United States and for five decades defied U.S. efforts to topple him, died on Friday, state-run Cuban Television said. He was 90.
Castro was in poor health since an intestinal ailment nearly killed him in 2006.
The bearded Fidel Castro took power in a 1959 revolution and ruled Cuba for 49 years with a mix of charisma and iron will, creating a one-party state and becoming a central figure in the Cold War.
